Speoincation of Lettera' Patent.`

Patented Sept. 3,1912.

To all whom tmay concern.

Be it known that I, LAzAa SrsrANowrrcH, residing in Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Calendar-Pen, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that classof pen or en holders that are specifically arranged and7 designed for holding and displayin calendar devices, that can be readily a justed to. indicate daily, weekly and monthly dates, or for holding advertising matter' ca able of being changeably positioned.

Iy invention has for its object to provide an im roved pen or pencil holder of the genera character stated in which the cooierativ'e parts are so arranged and combined that `they can be economically made and readily assembled so that the user ma quickly set the calendar devices' and wit other objects in view, thatwill hereinafter, apper, my invention consists in the-peculiar construction and novel arrangement of; parts, all of which will be hereinafter fully; explained, specilicall ointed out in. thel appended claims an i ustrated in the ac-y companying drawing, in which,

'Fi isacross section thereof on the line -8 on-Fi 2. Fig. ,4 is a perspective viewof the c'a endar barre or holder yhereinafter specifically referred to. Fig. 5, is an end perspective view thereof and particularly showsthe linger. latch that formsa part of the calendar v'ribbon holding device. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the calendar ribbon older and winding: devices. Fig. 7, isaesp'e'ctive view that' shows the calendar ri bon' orband holderl and the calendar' ribbon the parte Abeing shown" separated ,to the better ,illustrate their construction. Fig. 8, is a 'detail' view, 'thatl illustrates. thedevices for detachablylckf. ing the 'calendarybarrel or yholding device to the' penjstoclrjandy Fig. I 9,V is a.'

Inlthe'practicalgap lication ofi myyinven; tion ",the-pen-orpenci stock 'a yniayjbe x'of:.aiifyf, of th'ejiisual .types i ortforms,:'excepting-tliat the-np a,.see

4,stock "s with Ibayonet joint grooves a, one at each sidethereof, see Fi 9.

My invention is in the nature of an attachment for pen and encil stocks, and the calendar holdin and displaying means that 4forms a art tiereof, is so arranged that.

the calen ar need be set but monthly and when set for the entire month, forms a comp letemonthly calendar that is always in sight.

The attachmentcomprises a glass tube 11 anda main barrel like body 1 of thin metal l tubing, the ends or head portions 10-10 of which are internally threaded as at 10l0 for the reasons presently understood. The attachment above mentioned also includes locking or keeper devices for detachably connecting the calendar holding means upon the upper end of the pen stock and each of f the said kee er devices, one of which is best shown `in ig. 8, consists of a rin -like member 3, provided with two or more ongi- `tudinally extended portions 80-30 that join with an externally threaded end ortion 31. i `3 2, designates spring fingers t at extend inwardly from-the threaded ring-like portion 31 and they form a lockin means for .holdin the keeper devices .firm y upon the 'reduce shank of the pen stock; and-to provide for positively` causing the said spring fingers to remain intheir locking or ripping position on the pen stock shank, employ a milled sleeve 4 that is sldably and rotatabl mounted over the said fingers 82. The mil ed sleeve 4 has recesses 4 0 in its inner edgeto receive the upturned flanges 33 o f-,the-iingers=82 and the said flanges have `one-.,edgeftlft rounded olf, the reason for which will presently appear. :i .By-reason l of. the peculiar construction .and arrangement of theparts, as shown and described, it is apparent that by sli ing theiinger end of the kee er over this)p en Y yank af with the` lngers 82 in 4ine withthe'straightway portion of the bayonet e said pen stock, the said eeper can be readily attached to the pen stock a', and afterit is attached, as stated, itfcan be-locked into-engagement with the eagdshaiikr member a', by simply turning the ".'sail-sleeve` 4* inl the y direction indicated by the arrowllvtFigrQ, sincethe said sleeve 4 n has-'a' cam-like .portion 41- for engagin the lgs. '2.and 8,-'and thefshank'provided .l

rounded edge 34 of theiingers 82, suc coaction ofthe gtrt'ts'erving. to force'tthefingers 32 inwar y' to cause `ther'n to bite-finto the-wooden.shankAonstock a. i i I In the complete form of m invention, a second keeper device is used or'connecting the-rubber tip"holder 6 of the. encil--to the outer end of the; calendar hol er or barrel it being understoodiromthe drawing that the said rubber tip'holder 6 also forms the closure for the outer -end ofthe saidv calendar barrel. A A

A detailed descri tion'ofthe'keeperdevice for the tip ho der 6 is not'necessary since its construction is precisely like that of the other keeper device described and shown 4in Fi i.' 8, it being clear'from Fig. 2 that the tip older hasa wooden shank-A that has the bayonet slots like the shank of the en stock shown in Fi 8.

The barrel likebody lefore referred to and which is best shown in Figs. 4 and 5 has a single lon tudinally4 extended slot 12 through whici the month is-read and a series (seven) of transverse slots 13-.13 through which the days of the week are read, the said slots being of a sufficient length that a full calendar. month a pears through the said set ofslots, 13. l n assembling th'elparts the-barrel' 1 is threaded at one end onto the keeper 4device on the pen stock and the tip holder is threaded into the outer endV of thesaid'barrel.

The calendar ribbon carrier, shown in detail in Fig. 7 ,consistsfof'two arallel I 1 shafts 70--71 rotatably mounted in t edisk like ends 80-80 of a",trough member 8 `and the ends of the shafts have milled heads 7 O-7 ll for conveniently turning them. The ribbon or band 9 that-carries the calendar which may be one or more `years and arranged in pro er monthl' sequence is 'fastened at one en to one of t e shafts to wind thereon in oney direction -and vhas the other end fastened to the other shaft to wind in the op osito direction to'provide for winding u t e ribbon onjone shaft as it .is remove from zthe othershaft, itbeing obvious-that by removing the holderfrom' the outerend ofthe barrel 1 the ribbon holding trough can'be slipped barrel and' to facilitate ,the removal of. said trough from the-barrel,`the outer end-.ofthe out of the barrel has an 'edge notch. 15 to'accomm" date thevlipturned fingen on the ribbon -carrier 8 that.. projects upl through the notch -as shown.

" From the foregoin taken in connection with thedrawings, t e'com lete construction and' the'mannerin'whic my device is ,utilized and its advantages will be readily ap arent.
